Hi Guys,

I have a R34 GTT auto with 102,000km on the clock. Just did the 100,000km service with Bel garage about 2 months/2,000km ago.

The car has been fine but today when i started it, the engine sounds very rough and struggles to rev plus the whole car is vibrating slightly. I didn't want to push it past 2000rpm.

The Traction Control (TCS), Slip and Engine light are also on now.

The car can drive and the gearbox seems fine - but I'm not driving it. boost also comes on like normal so i don't think it's the turbo.

Could it be a loose connection or something serious...

Oh.. the only mods is a pod filter and exhuast.

thanks

Could be defective afm. I can replicate this problem by disconnecting it:

TCS & Slip lights remain on

Check engine light on

Car doesn't idle properly

I would recommend doing a diagnostic check either with a console cable or by shorting out 2 pins on the console plug and observing the flash pattern (Theres a tutorial about this on the forums somewhere).

Best of luck

    • Yeah, playing with naturally aspirated is not smart bang for your buck power wise, but then I've never been known for being smart when it comes to cars and modifications 
    • I mean from V8 world there are gains to be made in intakes and such over stock items, but definitely only if you tune them. We're talking about I dunno, 10kw here and there on a 300KW v8, gains made by tuning in the 0.2 AFR that it changes so YES but also no you won't notice it other than the sound. Duct the air as mentioned 750,000 times and you will notice happier IAT's which definitely make a difference N/A. I mean my unsubstantiated guess is you'd go from 140kw with everything stock (after cams) to 145kw with everything and a tune :p
    • I decided to "spend baby spend", and "risk it for the biscuit" 2 Orders were made buying parts that I "don't really need but really really want" totalling $2.5k AUD 1: In stock items (intake plenum and throttle body) 2: The airbox thingie, with no real ETA for them getting more stock, so patience will be required 
    • Any further updates on experiences with them? Anyone installed one with a getrag here as yet?
